Website design By BotEap.com1. Weigh your pet. This is important so you know how much treatment to apply. Let’s say your dog weighs 20 pounds and the dose of Frontline Plus is 0.67 ml, which is the same as one cc. So, in his syringe with the needle still attached at this point, he will draw almost 7/10ths of a cc. Each cc is measured in 10 parts and everything is written on the syringe. It may sound harsh or scary to some people, but it is not. If your dog weighs 1.34 ml or 1 cc and approximately 3/10 of a cc. See how easy this is? If you need to write it, do it. You can even write the dose on a white label and stick it on the container for on-the-spot treatment.
